gTalk works the same way as any other notification in this regard. I'm not making special use-cases for each notification when it comes to how they're dismissed, proximity sensor.. etc. so really it should work with gtalk just like it should with emails. I tested this feature out with gtalk myself and it seems to work just fine.

yea, i noticed that too. It seems that this happens whenever you update NoLED. I need to make a note and let everyone know that they really need to re-enable noled in the accessibility menu when they start using a new updated version.
[Android Apps and Games] neotoky:
I got it to work thanks, but I don't like that fact that I have to use the lock screen for it to work now.

Now I'm having issues with noled not reading my yahoo account. I am using the stock samsung email app where I added my yahoo account. I have followed the instructions from the FAQ, but it doesn't show anything under emails except for my gmail which i don't use. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you'll need to use "all other" and "monitored apps" for that one. check the "Email" app under monitored apps, and get all other checked as well. when prompted to give noled accessibility rights, go ahead and do so. should work

How much battery does this app drain. ( just Avg estimate ?)

I have Samsung vibrant ( u.s version) running 2.2

bionix 1.2.1 with adw launcher ex
[Android Apps and Games] nside:
Not much.

you can set the notifications to only display for X minutes. You can also set noled to not display notifications if the phone is in your pocket.
[Android Apps and Games] neotoky:
Everything is working now. Thanks madmack.
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
Hey there madmack,

I've got a question about noled notification dismissal that hopefully you'll be able to help me with.

As far as I understand, putting a delay on notification will put a delay on when noled gets activated from the time a notification is received. What happens when I see a noled notification for an e-mail is that I go to gmail on my computer, read the e-mail, and the notification gets dismissed from my phone and the noled notification also goes off. Yay!

I have problem however if a notification is dismissed between receiving it and noled "activating" (after it's 'wait' period). In this case, I read an e-mail on my computer in gmail, then noled is activated and stays on. When I dismiss noled, the gmail notification is gone.

I get the same issue with SMSPopup. If I mark an SMS as unread using the popup, the noled notification activates.

Is this expected/preferred behaviour? I guess I was expecting it to also monitor the dismissal of a notification if it happens between the notification happening and the noled activating after it's 'wait' period.

Hello,

I have been using NoLED for quite some time on my ZTE Blade, because the LEDs don't work since the phone goes into a deep sleep mode.

However, I am having difficulties getting a email icon for my second email account. I have 2 mail accounts: Gmail and POP mail. I already downloaded a theme (PhoenixFX_x2) and activated it, but the email icon is not showing up.

It keeps showing the default email icon of the app itself.

Any help is appreciated !

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] _der_:
Hi,

first I want to thank you for developing NoLED, I'm using it since I bought my phone. :)

But I have a tiny problem/question: I'm developing my own App that creates 2 different kinds of notifications. One type to inform about the state of my background service and one that will stay until the user (myself ;)) touched it.

To be able to see the second type of notification I want to use NoLED. All in all everything works fine, but NoLED is displaying the service notifcations too. That's why now the questions:

1) Is it possible to use a special flag at the notification to make NoLED ignoring them?

2) Or (and this would be my favorite solution) is it possible to broadcast an Intent to NoLED instead of using the the Android Accessibility API?

Thanks for your help and once again: Good work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] barome:
I prefer bln...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
you're right. pending notifications do not get dismissed currently with the delay all feature. I'll look into it and see if I can provide a solution.

You'll need to configure your POP email account through "monitored apps" and "all other". I've written about it a couple of pages back. and I believe the FAQ has a solution to that as well.

I'm assuming you mean you checked your app through "monitored apps". NoLED taps into whatever is displayed on the notification bar based on the apps' package name. It doesn't recognize what services or activities triggered it. One solution to you would be to isolate both services into two different packages (would that mean two different apps ? I'm not sure how that works) or for your other service not to display anything in the notification bar.

I haven't really thought about creating NoLED public broadcast APIs to let other apps trigger NoLED's notification manually. Perhaps its something I should consider on the roadmap :) Meanwhile, I think your only option is to work around what I have suggested.
[Android Apps and Games] theukrainian:
hello - thanks for a wonderful app!

one issue i found: on the nexus s (GRH78C) when noled is displaying notifications, headset buttons don't work. It seems to consume them.

I noticed this issue discussed a few pages ago. I don't think this is a limitation of android though. I use WidgetLocker, which puts up a screen on top of the lock screen. It does not preclude my audio buttons from working. It seems that NoLED should not have that effect either?
[Android Apps and Games] Freekers1337:
Thanks for your reply !

I already did that, but the right email icon is not showing up. It's showing the default email app icon (white envelope with yellow @), but not the icon from the theme.
[Android Apps and Games] _der_:
Thanks for your quick reply. Of course I meant "monitored apps". Sorry, I forgot to mention this. :)

Ok, I thought maybe NoLED can access the notification flags like Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR or Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS and is filtering them somehow. :D

Finally I worked around this issue by checking if the display is "on" at the moment my service sends a notification, but a public broadcast API to get rid off the Android Accessibility API would be nice anyhow.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm aware of that issue and so far cannot pinpoint the culprit. Its probably a flag i'm setting somewhere or the fact that i'm displaying my activity on top of the lock screen. I think the default settings in widgetlocker disable the lockscreen entirely and not just "display an activity on top of it" sort of thing.

yea, that's how its implemented so far. need to invest some serious time to make icons customizable for each monitored app. default icons of these 3rd party apps should be a good indicators for now though.

Calendar

I love this app. Have been using it since day one. However, the calendar notification has never worked for me. Samsung Captivate Galaxy S. I use the preloaded calendar on the phone.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
yea its a little picky to what calendar events it chooses to trigger. I recommend using "Calendar" from monitored apps with "all other" checked as well. that should be robust and guaranteed to work always.

I'm removing the calendar notification completely in the future (you'll have to rely on monitored apps for that). i know it already breaks some other apps too because i keep a constant monitor on the calendar URIs.
[Android Apps and Games] Mysteryjunky:
Thanks. I'm having trouble finding that one, but I'll keep looking. I'm curious why it doesn't pick up from the notification that shows on the top of the screen when I have a calendar item. It always shows up on my phone - just not on noled.

But - I love everything else about this app. It is very helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] Freekers1337:
Thanks again for your reply.

Okay, I'm a bit confused now, sorry.

To get thing straight; It's not possible to show the email icon as shown in the PhoenixFX_x2 theme when I get an email on my POP mail account ? (the purple envelope with the @ sign, I'm not allowed to post links yet....)

If it's not possible to do so, why is it included in the theme pack ?

All other theme icons show up properly like they should
[Android Apps and Games] mrniceguy1982:
supercool app!

thx for this great app madmack.

Worked great on my sgs i9000b....the only issue that i've found so far is tha the app doesn't go off if you are not at home screen.great anyway luv the custom options!.

as soon as i get my new credit card(old1 expired) i'm giving you some money....is not going to be very much given U$D here is 4 to 1..AGAINTS ME!...loool

[Android Apps and Games] ipster:
Since my latest kernel doesn't support BLN, i will give this a try.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, sorry if I wasn't clear.

"Monitored Apps" uses a different notification system than the built-in notification engine (i.e. the ones you see under the toggle menu). The themes that you download work only for the notifications in the toggle menu, and not in the monitored apps section. These are 3rd party software, each has a different signature/package name and will require more coding on my part if we want these to use the icons in the theme packs.

The themes only apply to whatever is under toggle. They will not apply to "Monitored apps" atm.

NoLED v4.1.12 seems to cause Galaxy S Vibrant to lock under Froyo

Hi, I really like NoLED and I always used it since I discovered it a while ago.

But since I upgraded my Galaxy S Vibrant to Froyo using the standard T-Mobile mini Kies upgrade, I observed frequent phone lock-ups.

Searching in various forums gave me the idea that my problem had to be related to some applications installed, so I spent quite a bit of time doing factory resets of my phone and then reinstalling only part of my applications.

Finally, it turns out that if I disable NoLED my phone works flawlessly without any lock-up. It could very well be that there is an incompatibility between my NoLED and some other application I have, but that seems quite strange, since I have no application that deals with notifications or the locking of the screen: the only one that is not just a simple application is the live wallpaper "Grass".

I was using NoLED with the "Time always on" feature, otherwise with the standard settings.

I would gladly try things with the phone that could help resolve this issue: as I mentioned, I really like NoLED and if I can help resolve this issue I will gladly do it.

Thanks

NoLed

Try going into menu>settings>applications>manage applications>all tab>sroll down to NoLed and select. Then delete cache and data and reboot. You will have to redo your settings for NoLed after this. Hope it works!:)
[Android Apps and Games] Tower410:
Great app you made! I use it when my phone is on my desk plugged in in its dock. I searched all the settings but I can't find a option to run NoLED in landscape mode. Is that possible? It is easier to read the time without turning my head :)
[Android Apps and Games] AndreaMazzario:
Default NoLED v4.1.12 seems to cause Galaxy S Vibrant to lock under Froyo

Well, I did it, and this is what happened and what I did:

1- I clear the data in NoLED. There was nothing in the NoLED cache (makes sense, it was disabled since my last reboot).

2- Reboot.

3- I see that NoLED is activated, look at its settings, I decided to leave them as they are by default (did not set the Permanent time display)

4- open the browser using a shortcut in the home page. Display just fine.

5- go to the bookmarks page: it is empty, but it should not be.

6- use another home page shortcut to go to a different page: the browser displays with the URL, but the page never fills up.

7- I decide to power off the phone, it hangs on the Goodbye message, I have to keep the power button pressed to really turn it off and make it restart.

8- This time as soon as the phone has started I disable NoLED using the widget.

9- Everything works just fine now.

What really makes no sense to me is that after rebooting the first time and leaving NoLED enabled I did not receive anything requiring a notification, nor went my phone into sleep mode, so I decided that something must have been corrupted in NoLED, so I uninstalled it, rebooted the phone and re-installed it (via the Market). I installed the widget and I used it to activate NoLED, still w/o permanent time display.

Things were better for a while, but then I noticed again the problem in the browser and the phone locked again. I uninstalled NoLED and I did not have any problem since.

Is there any information that I can get from my phone that may be helpful in figuring out what causes the problem? Would the list of my applications be useful?

Thank you for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

I am running the latest version of NoLed on a Samsung Vibrant with the Bionix v5 custom Rom. I don't have any problems and no one else has reported what your are reporting. So, what phone do you have and what Rom are you running? If you have flashed custom Roms before, do you periodically flash back to the Stock Rom for your phone? I have a feeling your problem might be a Rom/Kernel compatibility issue.:)

Edit: I see you have a Vibrant.
[Android Apps and Games] AndreaMazzario:
Yes, I have a completely standard T-Mobile Vibrant, just upgraded to Froyo using the Official T-mobile procedure (mini Kies). The phone is not rooted, and I never installed any custom Rom. Maybe I am the only one without any custom Rom :)

More seriously, I can only think an incompatibility with one of my installed applications, don't you agree?

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] bjbtn:
nice....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried it out, but it isnt working for me on my Samsung Captivate
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

That seems logical, but the problem with that is why are you the only one reporting the problem. That why I thought you might have a custom Rom issue. It is possible that your OTA download was corrupt. I think that is possible. I've heard of the last OTA update bricking a lot of Vibrants; that's why it was pulled.:)
[Android Apps and Games] AndreaMazzario:
Default NoLED v4.1.12 seems to cause Galaxy S Vibrant to lock under Froyo

As I mentioned, I did not have an OTA upgrade, I did it using mini Kies. Since mini Kies downloads the updated image over the Internet before updating the phone, I would hope that it validates its image (checksum or something similar) before starting. But since I don't know for a fact that mini Kies performs that validation, is there any way to verify that the image installed on my phone is correct?

Thanks again for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
You could indeed be having a conflict with another app. Do you have the Calendar toggle activated ? This is known to cause issues with other apps and the solution is to select these apps in Monitored Apps instead of the default toggle menu which forces a constant listener in the background.

I would suggest disabling each toggle from the default toggle menu (not monitored apps). See if your problem disappears, then try to enable them one by one and see which one exactly causes that stutter.

I initially thought your problem was with unlocking the phone with NoLED activated. If you're having that problem, I suggest disabling Auto Rotate in Android and enabling "use back key" in misc options in noled. Getting out of the NoLED notification screen should be instant. that's my setup anyways :)

It would be cool to have that too. I tried to implement an auto rotate feature but that caused the app to stutter specially when dismissing the notifications. So I decided not to play with that so much.

Otherwise I've had some time today to work on NoLED. I'm in contact with Kevin (WidgetLocker's developer) and we got things working. a few minor bugs to take care of when using proximity sensor but otherwise things seem to be working great.

I also took care of the audio toggle not working when NoLED is displaying notifications. You should be able to turn up/down your volume even while notifications are on ;) I'm also adding a little feature to disable the "Home" button when NoLED is active in case you don't want to use that button to dismiss NoLED !

As soon as I work out the few bugs with WL, I'll put a beta up here that includes the latest translation files as well.

NoLed with Nexus S

Hello,

I've got a Nexus S under android 2.3.2, I install the software on my Nexus S but even if I change the settings the leds doesn't appear on the black screen.

Can you help me please for make work on my Nexus S ?

Thanks in advanced.

Make sure you've got the widget somewhere so you can enable NoLED, you probably don't have it enabled.

Press and hold on a blank area in your home screen, choose Widget, and select NoLED from the list that appears. It will add an icon that will Toggle NoLED on or off each time you touch it.

make sure you look at the FAQ section as well if you continue to have problems.

[Android Apps and Games] hakkers420:
dont know if this has been requested but I think you should add different notifications for different apps like ebuddy, twitter etc so they all have their own icon
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Hey mad, I don't think this was asked yet, but how do you use notifications for other stuff like Twitter, eBuddy, etc.? I tried using All other and selecting it via Monitored Apps, but I still don't get some notifications where it's just a pixel on the screen and not an actual icon.

Speaking of All other, how does that and accessibility work? Would be great if you can get a tutorial up or something.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
You guys can totally get the icons of each app separately. All you need to do is put a check next to All Other under Use Icons. Now instead of one dot, you should get an icon.

All Other uses Android's accessibility APIs to determine which apps are triggering the notification bar. Monitored Apps is used to filter only those apps that you care about. So if you use All Other, you need to make sure that NoLED has accessibility rights from the Android menu.

There is a pretty thorough section on the website talking about Monitored Apps and All Other, you can also have a look at that.
[Android Apps and Games] FL00DY:
Hey Madmack and everyone else. Anyone running 4.1.14b have a problem with it waking up or clearing the noled screen on a notification? Everytime it's running, I cant get back to unlock screen unless I hold down Power, get to the power menu and then press home. Am I the only one? Let me know if you need any logs before I downgrade to 4.1.12 from the market.

Running Darky's 9.2 JS5

[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
I've updated to the latest WidgetLocker, and the new beta of noLED.

I'm still seeing the usual problem though. Screen wakes up, but shows WidgetLocker, not the noLED notification.

Running a Nexus S and 2.3.3 as well (yay!)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Do you have the unlock with Home button option enabled ? This is the only thing that I modified in regards to unlocking. Make sure its enabled, otherwise the home button will not work.

it worked on my device and on kevin's.. maybe WL didn't release the latest on the market which fixes the proximity sensor problem.

it could be that the default lock screen is still messing up with your system, go to WL's settings and select the option that disables the default lock screen completely.
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
Nail. Head. Hit. If I disable the default lock screen, all works as it should. Thanks!

Now all I need/want is notification dismissal during 'delay' and/or tasker integration :-)
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
It can be enabled/disabled by tasker already.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
notification dismissal during delay is already done (haven't uploaded that version yet), but it should be out on the Market today or tomorrow :)

thanks guys for trying out the beta ! its really important to get your feedback before pushing NoLED out to the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] jonc:
That's great news :-) I look forward to the update.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
aaaaaaaaand its out :) 4.1.15 is here folks
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
can i confirm if anyone else having problem with using the "missed call" notification via monitored apps?

i used to be able to receive notification for missed call by checking "phone" but it is now not working.

im still able to receive other apps notifications (gosms, beejive).

am i missing anything here?

i am using js5 here. problem already exist a couple of weeks ago when i was using jpy.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
try to enable the delay all feature with 5 or so seconds.

after a missed call, the lock screen sometimes doesn't activate immediately so you gotta give NoLED a few seconds before it triggers. see if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] theeverlastingend:
Really interesting app you got there, keep it up it looks like a great idea
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
will give that a go. this problem does not exist if im using the native notifications.

its only with monitored apps that i encounter this problem.

i will feedback again after i test out your recommendation
[Android Apps and Games] mystifiyer:
tested. no difference. missed call notification doesnt show up.

meanwhile, i revert back to using the native notifications.

if its of any help, i am using doc's js5 custom rom. previously was on stock jpy. both instances are on speedmod kernel with ext4 on all partitions
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
make sure you disable/enable noled after you put that delay in there.

the native notifications have a slight delay for missed calls that i implemented manually because of this very thing :)
[Android Apps and Games] zero0n3:
hi madmack!

thanks for update!

i thinks this update both widgetlocker recent update is the "famous" compatibility update to have widgetlocker and noled on SGS working together...right?

if so what are the settings i have to use in noled (and also in WL) to working together?

thanks

regards
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
it should work out of the box if you've updated both apps.

Hey there,

Having a few problems with my SMS notifications with widgetlocker in "Easy Wake" Mode (Core lockscreen disabled).

If I have easy wake mode on, I get my SMS, SMSPopup is activated and shows the details of the text. The phone goes back to sleep. The noLED notification never shows up. I suspect this could be related to the lockscreen/widgetlocker/noLED integration...

If I have easy wake mode on, I get my SMS, SMSPopup is activated and shows the details of the text. The phone goes back to sleep. The screen then wakes up (when the noLED notification is triggered) and shows me the widgetlocker screen (rather than the noLED notification) as I've described in an earlier post.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
